Paul,

If you think art gobbledygook verbiage is just for critics and observers, you likely haven't been part of an art school critique session! In grad school I was appalled at the buzzword laden crap people would shovel about their latest bit of laziness masquerading as minimalism. Douglas Adams captured it perfectly in the critique of Vogon poetry: "counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor..." - Semantically null strings of buzzwords not quite managing to convey content.
